Mort

The Discworld and Death are as iconic as macaroni and cheese and this first foray into the realm of Death is definitely a fantastic start to the “Death” books of the Discworld series. I enjoyed the humorous moments where Death has showed up in previous books, but this volume focuses on him and his unlikely apprentice in an adventure that winds through life, death and alternate realities like its child's play, and I loved it! Humour abounds, thoughtful insights are peppered throughout and for a subject matter that could be a real downer, it manages to be an uplifting tale that keeps you engaged and having fun throughout. As always with any Discworld book, this one is highly recommended!
